OK, running now, though I suspect I know what actually caused it:
query > usage
Used 3999.2Mb 88% ***********************************
Old files 0.0Mb 0%
Deleted files 563.8Mb 12% *****

Could it be that boxbackup doesn't handle file uploads that exceed the
amount of available space to graceful yet? Shouldn't the client check
before the upload whether the file will actually fit the alottet space?
I know the files are compressed and crypted, but still it might be nice
to keep some kind of track of the available space ;) Imagine this
happening on a WAN line with traffic charged ... (no, this was running
on a LAN link, so no problem there ;) )
